Any news on your exciting day yesterday? I thought about you last night and am still thankful you are okay. Hello MamaDearest. Thanks for your concern. I watched the local news last night and did not see anything about it, but there were others. I did not see the local news this morning and I have not read the paper yet. I was a good girl this morning and prepared breakfast and dinner prior to sitting down and getting my fix of FR and this thread. I will check our local news paper a little later to see if there is any mention of it.
Not far from Chicago:
Pipe bomb found in parked car
Naperville buildings evacuated
February 22, 2004 — Two apartment buildings in the 1600-block of County Lake Road in Naperville were evacuated after investigators were tipped off about a pipe bomb. State police say an anonymous person called Homeland Security Saturday to say he spotted a pipe bomb in the trunk of a car.
Homeland Security then notified the FBI. The vehicle was tracked down and inside the trunk was a foot long pipe bomb along with a shoebox containing a white powdery substance.
Residents were evacuated while state police secured the vehicle and it was towed away. Investigators say it appears to be an isolated incident.
"This is a very, very serious incident where you have two live explosive devices found on a person's vehicle. We're taking this very seriously at this point. I'd like to also say in no way was this connected to any kind of terrorism or any kind of terrorist act or anything like that. At this point, we're investigating the reasons that this occurred," said Trooper Doug Whitmore, Illinois State Police.
